Thanks for the response Linda.

I haven't done any research prior to the arrival of my ancestors in
Charleston. But I think the Threadneedle Church in London would be one
place to look for records of them after fleeing France. I'm sure I've seen
links on this board to Threadneedle information.

Perhaps someone will repost some links?
